This was good, although there was basically one likable character in the whole book (even the dead girl is an asshole). I really liked the twist at the end.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Ten years ago Phoebe, a high school student, died in a tragic car accident. The details of this accident have never been fully determined. Her brother Grant was driving and he was likely drunk. The accepted version of the accident is that he hit a deer. A passenger in the car, Becca, upholds Grant's version of the story. On the same day of the accident, a man disappears. The story is told in two timelines - the present and ten years ago. The narrative is divided between four primary narrators - Grant, Becca, June, and Wyatt.
Grant was the driver of the car that night that Phoebe died. The community wonders why he waited twenty-seven minutes to dial 911. He had been a star football player, scouted by universities but he lost his chance to leave his small town on the night of the accident because his leg was badly injured. He is filled with remorse and guilt, drowning his sorrows in sex and alcohol. I enjoyed this thriller and read it quickly. I didn't appreciate that so much of the story was repeated, as if I couldn't remember what transpired. It is well-written, twisty, and the ending is a shock.

I was not expecting the ending of this story!!! Talk about keeping you on your toes! You will not want to put this down until you’re finished!

Insanely drawn out. I kinda wanted to give up half way through but I kept trucking. The ending was good, I had a suspicion it would be something similar. Didn’t hate but didn’t love it.
